    Bjork, The Making of... 'Declare Independence' - Video Exclusive

    French Academy Award-winning director Michel Gondry continues his rich music video history with Björk, with the Icelandic singer's epic anthem, 'Declare Independence.' Inspired by Björk's electricifying live show, the video was filmed in Long Island City, NY, and features an unusual and elaborate set, not to mention a mid-air suspended bassist in Mark Bell. Björk, meanwhile, sings through a megaphone, transforming her voice into endless flowing colors. "Björk and I's work together is based on trust and friendship," Gondry, who's now directed seven of her videos, explains.

    Have an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the making of 'Declare Independence.' Come back on December 6 for the premiere of the full video, exclusively on Spinner.

    Gondry is a visionary, and I think his video work is as strong as any feature.

    Nice video, that's one impressive production. Gondrys work is a fantastic interpretation of the music.

    This is going to be a win-win experience. You have a song that will compliment the video, and a video that will compliment the song. This is something to look out for!

    what an awesome experience! Great job on your video work. I found it very mindful. I especially like how you subtly worked the sketches into the piece. You're very perceptive.
